War Wounds
So I got Mie'Aga's dolls that I'm babysitting for the year on Thursday but didn't get a chance to assemble them until Friday night. It took me about 5 hours from the time I popped the top of the box until the time that everyone was put together and clothed...which I felt pretty good about considering that I've only assembled Thomas twice in my life and I had help from Mie'Aga both times. I started with Georgia and Bruce, since they are both Iple House, which is what Thomas' body is, I felt that they would be the easiest (i.e. the most familiar). I had to adjust my stringing tool repeatedly, the end was too fat to go through many of the various dolls openings. Especially E.C. and Zuko. Both of these were a total pain in the ass, it seemed like the strings were too big for the holes, but I got them to work eventually. When I was pulling Molly's S-hook up through her head, my vice grips slipped on the metal and I knocked myself in the face...right between the eyes, and I think my thumb actually went into my right eye. I was bleeding a bit, and my eye was SOOOO sore. But I couldn't help but appreciate the fact that Molly made me bleed...I'm sure that pleased her ;)
Everyone is settling in...some better than others. Molly, Bruce and Zuko seem just fine, Georgia and E.C. have been glaring at me for days (See Woe Are We story). LOL
As anticipated, Thomas is thrilled to have company and Dorian is happy to meet some, and not so friendly to others. Although, he seems to really like Molly, which surprised me since she's a girl (see Molly Got a Gun story). He's just now starting to open up around Becky and that's only because she comforted him (see Missing Lighter story). But it seems to be because with Molly what you see is what you get. She isn't coy like a lot of women, he doesn't feel like she has a hidden agenda with him. Anyway, I'm having tons of fun as I'm sure you'll see with my next few posts. I got clothes for the girls yesterday from my Dad, so I'll be putting them on E.C. and Georgia today as a peace offering ;) giggle...
